What it is:

This tropical cocktail blend of therapeutic oils, sea salts, a mango mud mask, and exotic lotions simulates an island getaway. The atmosphere is heightened by the island music – such as Caribbean steel drums – that plays in the background.

Steps:

  • Sanitize the client’s (and your own) hands with coconut-scented hand sanitizing gel.

  • Place the client’s hands in a pineapple-shaped bowl that contains warm, tropical-blended oils (coconut, lime, and tangerine.)

  • Prep the nails.

  • Exfoliate hands and lower arms with a pina colada sugar scrub. Melt the sugar off by rinsing the scrub off in the coconut bowl.

  • Polish nails.
